Respect both you and your wife for staying together for your daughter's sake.

I had a similarly intense relationship before too. Lots of break up and reunions, big fights, etc. In the end, I realize I had to make a decision and stand by it. It was to break up, simply because there was no way I can be with her and live up to my responsibilities as a father (although divorced). I went cold turkey and that is the only way. Even ignored her attempts to contact me. I still have her number, but I program my phone to not ring and divert straight to voice mail. I still think of her, but I am firm that it would never have worked if I wanted to be a responsible father.

Another thing I learnt, is that no matter how much you love someone, eventually the passion will die down. What remains, should be a dedication to each other that will surpass all challenges. I take much heart that my current fiancee accepts me for who and what i am, will go through thick and thin with me and cater to my needs and wants (including sex). That is true love. And I too in return do the same. That said, it is much easier to feel like you can do so when you feel you can trust her to do so. It's like a catch-22, but a good one. I also realize that it only takes one of us to break that trust, so I've resolved that I will try my utmost never to the one who breaks that mutual trust. (I admit I go to FLs on occasion and it's something I need to work on.)

I also believe that although we will never regain 100% of the passion we had when we started, we can maintain some of it, but constant work is needed. But, I also learnt that starting to rekindle passion is hard, but gets easier as you regain it.

Bro, I think you should talk to your wife heart to heart and both of you should make a pact to work on your marriage, and not just stay together solely for the sake of your daughter. Good luck.
